'I Spent More Than $50,000 On A Matchmaking Service—This Is What It Was Like’

The service even says that 87 percent of clients meet someone they'd want to have an exclusive relationship with by the fourth date. Those are really good odds. So I called them. I filled out a War-and-Peace -length questionnaire with pretty standard questions about what I wanted out of relationships and life, what I did for work, describing my ideal person. And then it was time to meet my matchmaker. My matchmaker, who I met in person at a nearby cafe, was great.

Though I dated lots of guys casually, I didn't get married until I was in my thirties. I have a Ph. Back then most guys couldn't handle that work was my first priority. But when I met my husband, who worked in the oil industry, on a golf course, I was smitten. He was exactly what I wanted in a partner: fun, funny, and not intimidated by my career.
